Late last week I purchased the Phpbay Pro eBay affiliate plugin for Wordpress and have been playing around with it the past several days.

The real time results that show up under the Google search box can be very helpful to most searches. Google displays these results based on popular searches others do on Google. It can be very helpful to site owners, as often times a URL is displayed near the top and brings the searcher if clicked [...]
Filing A Trademark, Buy The Domain Name Also
It seems like nearly every term is becoming a trademark term but it also seems that when companies are filing for trademarks for a term, they often leave out the simple, yet very important idea of registering the domain name to match the trademark!

Cost?
I often talk about Wordpress as the easiest (and best way IMO) [...]

CNN.com Covers Pending Sex.com Domain Auction
I always find it interesting when a large news source like CNN covers domain names. It’s never a bad thing for the domain name industry when this happens, because it sheds some more light on to domain names and the values many carry. The bad thing, the reporters mainly have little to no clue what [...]
